Thank you for taking time to visit my JustGiving page, I'm doing the half marathon (13.1 miles) at The Great Manchester Run on Sunday 22nd May 2022 for a charity called The Mustard Tree. 

If you know me well, you will know I like to keep fit and healthy but running is definitely not my bag so signing up to half a marathon as a complete beginner with only 11 weeks to prepare is definitely a challenge for me. I have devised a strict training plan though to get me to the end goal which will include weekly local runs, park run @ 5 k , I have a planned event coming up in Tatton Park @10k, I have even signed our little girl up to do the mini great Manchester run on the Saturday so we can train together which will be great fun. The main drive to get me through this will of course be to help raise awareness of this fantastic charity and what they do and helping to raise some much needed money to a great cause. 

Mustard Tree helps to combat poverty and prevent homelessness across Greater Manchester. They do this by providing emergency and essential services, including access to low-cost food, furniture, helping people to learn new skills, improve their well-being, find work and secure somewhere to live. 

If you can make a donation (no matter how big or small) this would be gratefully received and can help make a difference to people that really need help.
